@ezrqnkemboi
I build resilient cloud-native backend systems and lead engineering teams delivering fintech, agritech, and AI products.
What I'm looking for
I'm leading end-to-end architecture for TradeCare's FarmData Pod, a farm data management platform built with ReactJS, Django, AWS, and React Native. I partner with founders on technical strategy, build CI/CD practices, and lead hiring, onboarding, and mentorship across the full-stack team.
At YellowCard, I architected Alia, an AI-powered customer-support chatbot, and delivered KYC/AML automation integrating Open-Sanctions, Moody's, SmileID, and Sift. I also designed and operated fault-tolerant AWS infrastructure for high-availability banking and onboarding workflows.
I've led teams of 10+ engineers at TheJitu, built cloud-native systems and REST APIs for enterprise clients, and mentored engineers at Andela. I'm seeking hands-on architectural ownership and technical leadership as a Principal Software Engineer.
